Sent the Kornell write-up to one of my players, who's a Cornell
grad... He liked it, and offered some additional stuff:

=====================
Amusing.  He might want to look at adding Seal and Serpent (a
real Cornell fraternity).  Probably poseurs trying to use some
of that old-school magic that really doesn't work any more.  :-)

And of course there is the question of what Dragon Day is a
cover for.

============================

My response is that Dragon Day is probably just rambunctious
architecture students, no mystical significance... but everyone
THINKS there is.

Also, author Matt Ruff -- THE FOOL ON THE HILL and THE PUBLIC
WORKS TRILOGY (SEWER, GAS, ELECTRIC) -- is, IIRC, a Cornell
grad. Both books have plenty of stealable stuff for a wacky UA
game.
